Re: Motorcycle Rifle Case?
Correct - bungee cords to strap it down to the back. I have the rifle in a hard case similar to this one: http://www.phillycase.com/sc_images/products/im3300f.jpg (but a cheaper one), and I use three sturdy bungees as follows: One from each of the passenger peg frames in an "X" across to t...

Re: Motorcycle Rifle Case?
mtncwru - Great answers! Thorough, detailed, factual, and relevant. I agree that the car (or truck) is better than the motorcycle for that. Still, when it's not been my turn to have the family car I've carried rifles on the back of my motorcycle - in a locked hard case, strapped down securely on the...

Re: singing in your head makes better shooting?
Part of the lyrics from Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" (1971):
Shoot straighter than before
Good advice there.

Re: Why Santa would be put in jail under Irish Firearms Law
Thanks for sharing that. Very informative along with thorough, factually-based, well-reasoned arguments in addition to the Santa example. I didn't know much about Irish firearms law before reading your links so I was quite surprised to see how restrictive it is (a 1 joule limit on airguns before the...

Re: Felt recoil, light vs heavy projectile
You'll just have to try it and see what "feels" better for you. The thing is, there are so many variables (the shape of the grip, the material the grip is made of, bore axis, how heavy your arm is, your shooting posture, the alignment of your arm(s), the proportion of muscle and adipose ti...

Re: First Match whoo whoo
That's great! It sounds like you did really well, and even more importantly you are happy with what you did and how you did it. After all, that's the real goal, right? I remember my first 10m air pistol match very clearly. First of all, although I started the day excited about the match, that quickl...

Re: I need a very reliable 22 for bullseye compitition.
FYI - the "Gemtech Silencer Subsonic" 22 LR ammo is made by CCI for Gemtech and it seems to be very similar to the CCI SV (except for the extra 2 grains in the bullet). Sometimes it's more readily available than the CCI SV. It might work with your High Standard. I signed up for a 'notify m...

Re: Keeping Calm
You can shoot quiet well with an elevated heart rate while under pressure. You just have to realise it (very easy to tell your self but very hard to really convince your self of the fact.) I shot a 99 in comp with a hear rate monitor on and me heart rate was at 198, only 5 beats off my max. I was s...

Re: cheapest 10m competition pistol on the market ?
This thread might have drifted a bit away from the original question: Cheapest 10m competition pistol on the market. Of course, technically that would be the cheapest .177 pistol that conforms to the rules (e.g. fits in the dimension box, 500g trigger, etc.). There's a lot of advice to "buy the...
